how would they know if you have a tattoo.....

Hi, does anyone know if it will be nigh impossible/ very hard if one tries to apply back to be DXO after leaving the DXO service earlier?

Left in Mid 2017, but after a while of working outside, will very much love to go back MINDEF.

Thanks!

I can offer some insights here. I used to be a DXO from 2008 till mid 2011. Left to pursue other interests, but still wish to join back the DXO scheme. Applied from 2012 all the way to now, went for interviews at DTTB thrice throughout the span, was offered a role in 2014 which I turned down (due to expected salary), and recently was offered another role, which I have accepted. Currently pending letter of offer.

So in short, not impossible at all to go back to the service.

I'm also in the midst of applying for a dxo position, so I'll share with you the application process and timeline:

- PT test: Not much to prepare for, testing your logic, reasoning and personality
- After that, 5 weeks later I received a rejection email. Nevertheless, I took the advice of other forum users and re-applied for other dxo positions.
- 2 weeks later, got a phone call to go for an interview
- After the interview they will notify you within 2 weeks whether you are shortlisted to go for site preview, or rejected.

Best of luck to you!

just checking, what DXO positions are based in units/camps?

Anyone can share about the process time after interview to actual job starting? My interviewers told me that if shortlisted to site preview, it takes around 2 weeks.

I am currently thinking of accepting a 3 mth contract from elsewhere, will that be appropriate?

Anyone applied to the healthcare related positions and got invited for site preview already?

Just to check will they inform should u failed the security clearance?

Anybody feels a lack of purpose in their job but earning good money (>20k/month)? 40s male in SAF, but not likely to have golden parachute for me into GLCs at the end of my SAF career unlike the BGs and above. Should I stay another decade in a no progression job which ultimately pays the bill? My JC mates are mostly doing well in professional jobs (law, medicine, banking), and they look like they have a goal in life.
